RUNNING
COSTS
Below are the weekly, all inclusive running costs of various
motor vehicles as calculated by the NRMA. Whilst the actual
figures vary over time the relativity between the vehicle categories
will remain constant. The figures below were accurate at time
of first publication, but have changed since. So we allocated
a zero percentage against the Light cars and an increase percentage
against all other. In simple terms, any thing above a light
car category will cost you a certain percentage more than it
needs to. You simply have to decide whether or not you are willing
to spend the extra money it will cost you to operate a vehicle
in the category of your choice.

Before settling on your next motor vehicle think again……
and ask yourself, do I need it, does it make commercial sense
(Business vehicle), are there better things I can spend my
money on. Only you have got the answer.
